What is a Defra Approved Wood Burning Stove?
If you reside in a zone of smoke control then it is crucial to buy a DEFRA exempt stove. A DEFRA exempt stove (or SE) permits you to legally burn wood in a smoke controlled area.
They are independently tested to ensure the lowest emissions possible. Stoves with this status are usually branded with the 'Defra approved' logo on their name or the specifications.
Approved for Smoke Controlled Areas
Many people believe that living in a smoke controlled area means they can't use a wood burning fireplace. This isn't the case. In reality, many cities and towns are within a smoke controlled zone but that doesn't mean you can't have an oven, it simply means that you must make use of an exempt device and only use authorised fuels (usually briquettes) in your stove. The Defra approved stove is a type of wood burning stove that has been tested to ensure that it meets certain requirements in regards to the emissions that it produces when burning fuels that are approved and consequently, it is able to be legally used in a Smoke Control Area.
The Defra Logo is widely used in the industry, and many stoves feature the SE after their names to signify that they are smoke-free. To be SE approved, a stove must meet strict emission requirements. This means you can be confident you are purchasing the top wood stove on the market.
If you are searching for a wood-burning stove that is Defra-exempt or has SE after its title You will notice that the manufacturer might have taken measures to ensure that there are enough air intakes in the front of stove to allow for full combustion of fuel, and that the size of the chimney outlet is adequate to prevent accumulation of soot. This is important because it ensures that the smoke from the stove doesn't escape the chimney and into your home.
A DEFRA approved energy-efficient stoves-approved stove allows you to install a 5" liner that is compliant with UK building regulations. Non-Defra-approved stoves require a 6" liner.
At Stovax we are delighted to offer a selection of Defra approved stoves and fires. We also have our Ecodesign Ready stoves that have been created with the future of air quality standards in mind. In fact, many of our Defra approved stoves are able to be used with smoke control kits for those properties that are in a Smoke Control Area and can therefore be used with a range of authorised smokeless fuels including fire logs.
Approved for Smokeless Fuels
The only stove that can be installed within a smoke-control zone is one that is a DEFRA approved wood burner, which is also known as DEFRA exempt. This stove should be used for solid fuel, which means wood, preferably well-seasoned. They are inspected by the government to ensure that they don't produce excessive amounts of smoke and can be used with approved' fuels (coal only).
The difference between a DEFRA-approved kitchen and one that isn't approved is usually minimal. With a kit provided by the manufacturer, many modern stoves can be made DEFRA compliant in only a few minutes. This is because a Defra approved stove must undergo very rigorous tests and is limited to the amount of smoke it can generate.
To ensure that the restrictions are not violated the stove has to be able to limit its combustion air so that it doesn't rob itself of oxygen which can cause it smoulder. This is accomplished through a mechanism that opens a small amount air into the firebox while it is burning. It is typically hidden within the stove or beneath the base of the fire box.
Stove World UK offers a wide range of DEFRA endorsed stoves approved stoves from the country's best manufacturers such as Stovax, Arada and Burley. These are available in an enormous range of styles and finishes. Choose from a wide range of Ecodesign stoves that are designed to meet future requirements for air quality.
Smoke Control Areas are primarily situated around cities and towns with large populations and you can check the website of your local authority to determine if the area you live in is classified as one. If you reside in a smoke-free zone, it is crucial that you buy an DEFRA approved stove for your home to avoid being fined by your local authority. This is because if you burn unauthorised multi fuel stove defra approved in a non-approved stove, like coal or other solid fuels and you are fined up to PS300.
Approved for Wood
A DEFRA approved wood stove, also known as a smoke exempt stove, is a device that can be used in a Smoke Control Area when burning wood. The stove will bear the DEFRA Stoves Cost approved symbol or 'SE' the front of its name, which means it can only be used in smoke-controlled areas if you burn approved fuels. In this case, wood.
The older wood stoves can release a lot of particles into the air which can trigger or contribute to respiratory problems, asthma attacks, heart issues and premature death. It is therefore essential to choose a wood stove that is compliant with the strict emission standards as set by the Environmental Protection Agency. Look for the "EPA 2020 Certified Label" which indicates that the stove is in compliance with the emission limits currently in place.
If you purchase a cooktop which is not EPA-certified and you live in a smoking area it is necessary to renew the certification before you can use the stove. It's time-consuming and expensive, but the law requires it. Homeowners who sell a home with a wood stove that is not certified may also be subject to tax credits or fines related to pollution-free air.
Modern stoves can be altered to be Defra approved by an adjustment kit or a kit that the installer offers. This is because the primary difference between a DEFRA approved stove and one that are not, is the combustion air management system which regulates the amount of air that passes through the stove in normal operation. Modifications are typically made to the base or the underside of the firebox.
Some manufacturers produce two versions of a wood stove, one that is Defra-approved while the other is not. The reason for this is that the cost of putting a stove through the rigorous Defra testing is high. To help recoup these costs, they will sell the non approved version for a lower price. The DEFRA approved version will have been subjected to the modification of combustion air included in the testing procedure.
Approved Gas
Before the Clean Air Acts were brought in residential homes could burn any type of fuel they liked which resulted in large quantities of smoke emissions and health issues. To combat this Defra established Smoke Control Areas which meant that homes in residential areas couldn't emit any smoke from their wood burners or multifuel stoves unless the appliance was Defra certified to burn only authorised fuels such as manufactured smokeless coals and anthracite.
Defra approved stoves, also known as SE (Smoke Exempt) Stoves, have undergone rigorous tests to prove that they can cleanly burn authorized fuels within a Smoke Control Area. They achieve this by utilising the latest combustion technology which constantly delivers a minimum level of secondary air to the combustion chamber, to ensure that even if the stove is used with authorised fuels such as anthracite or manufactured smokeless coals it will still be able to meet Defra's regulations for Smoke Control Areas.
If you're in the market for a brand new wood-burning stove and are in an area that has a Smoke Control Area then we would recommend that you look at the selection of Defra approved stoves which can be found here at The Stove Yard. We offer a wide range of traditional, contemporary and inset Defra approved stoves from the most reputable manufacturers such as Stovax, Arada, Burley and AGA.
The good thing is that there is no visual difference between a stove approved by Defra and one that isn't. However, the Defra-approved models do include a few features designed to help them burn cleaner. In general, they have a different grate and air vents and on the gas models they might also have an alternative size flue outlet.
Another benefit of an Defra Approved stove is that they will almost always have five" (125mm) flue outlet. This means that you can choose a narrower stainless steel twin wall chimney liner that is cheaper than a standard 6" (150mm) liner. This is useful when installing a Defra-approved wood burning stove into an old or non-standard chimney stack. It will save you money the cost of relining a chimney with a larger diameter liner.
